Megan Gerking to Moderate Panel at GCR Live: Women in Antitrust

Megan Gerking, a partner in the firm’s Global Antirust Group, will participate in GCR Live: Women in Antitrust on November 12, at The Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C. Megan will moderate the panel “Cartels: Can Software Programs Be a Hub for Collusion?”

The panel will address critical questions surrounding the role of pricing algorithms and software programs in potentially facilitating illegal price coordination among competitors without human interaction. Key topics of discussion will include:

• The implications of information-sharing capabilities of pricing algorithms as enablers of collusion.
• The possibility of software programs serving as hubs in hub-and-spoke conspiracies.
• Companies’ compliance obligations.
• The recent interventions by the DOJ in private litigation and their potential effects on case law in the evolving landscape.

GCR Live: Women in Antitrust showcases outstanding female practitioners, enforcers, economists, and in-house counsel in the competition field, offering a valuable opportunity for practical discussions, high-level insights from industry leaders, and extensive networking.
